I got the same one that you did. The air is what makes me feel this way. My favorite is still in my app, so I know that. Although I'm not sure why it shows that in the picture. No, it is not a pair, it is a single microphone. There are two of them. I have no idea why.
There is no reason to do that
Selected User Reviews For Lewitt LCT 140 AIR Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Instrument Recordings
The company is fairly new to me and I hadn't heard of them before now. My MXL 550/551 condenser (starter set) I got years ago is badly built. Once I recommitted myself to home studio recording during the lockdown, I realized that it's not worth the money I spent. I suspected these mics were much cheaper than their original price when I saw that a used set of 550/551 MXL's could barely fetch a quarter of their original price on the used market. They don't quite live up to the hype! When I was comparing condenser microphone sound on Audio Test Kitchen, a site that compares the sounds of condenser mics, I found the Lewitt to be really impressive. It is possible to plug in up to five mics and play back the recordings to hear how they would sound on various instruments on different songs that we have Of these five mics, Lewitt's LCT 440 Large Diaphragm was placed in opposition to four others of significantly higher price tags. The Lewitt air 140 mic under $300 was more than competitive with microphones that were three to four times more expensive. Later, when I was on YouTube, I saw a video with a professional producer (whose channel I subscribe to) raving about the Lewitt air 140 mic. I thought the sound of his acoustic guitar and drum set were fantastic during a demo he made. It is rare for him to demo any kind of gear on his page. However, he was ecstatic when he discovered this brand and said after doing some research it is all he uses. In the end, I had purchased after seeing the demo and receiving his approval. The sound is great on my acoustic guitar and even decent on my voice, but I bought the 440 anyway. It's hard to beat the price and quality of these mics.
One feature that is very useful is an EQ switch for boosting high frequencies. important pro it has is that it is so lightweight, so that your microphone can remain on the stand no matter how far you extend it, and that the entire setup with the microphone is more stable, especially if you extend the tripod You should use extra weights at the base of the stand when using heavier microphones. Otherwise, it is more likely that the whole stand will tip over. The placement of the mic seems to have more effect on the sound than any other mic. This is both a good and a bad thing The good thing about it is that it allows more experimentation with The following are also true. Getting the same sound across different takes is tricky since you have to be more careful to get it right. For anything that requires clarity and a high level of crispness, I use it.
I use a mic mainly for acoustic recording. The mic is very light and gives a nice sound. With the brighter setting, there is more presence than brittle highs, and the flat is perfect for more earthy sounds, like blues. A month from now, I'm going to try this mic out with a hurdy-gurdy.
They are as good as they sound. I have used these on many acoustic guitars. Options that are flexible and sound like they're worth a fortune. This is a highly recommended book.
I love that it has a roll off for 80Hz and if needed, can be turned off.
This is a good deal.
When I switched on the Air Boost and turned off the HPF, I got a fantastic sound! Worth a lot more than the price tag suggests!.
I like the sound and the low noise level.
